The Fujitsu ARM chip has an even MORE impressive HPCG score than Linpack actually.

I expect the Fujitsu ARM to be the greatest HPCG computer for years to come. No other design comes close.



Is HPC moving away from purely ALU throughput benchmarks? If so, I think that would be good news.


HPCG has been reported for years.

Linpack is the "legacy" benchmark on pure FLOPs throughput. But HPCG is the more realistic benchmark that better tests the interconnects.

HPCG is a sparse-matrix, which more accurately represents many HPC problems. Linpack is a bit of a legacy, but still represents dense-compute pretty well.

Its still a GFLOPs / TFLops style measurement, but HPCG has a LOT more data movement.
